Raising funds to support Nicola, Emily and Jack after the loss of Matt.

Dunedin, Otago

Mathew George Cooper passed away unexpectedly at work on Friday, 1 May 2026. He leaves behind his devoted wife, Nicola, his beloved children, Emily and Jack, and many friends and family who will miss him deeply.

Matt was a truly dedicated and long-serving member of the Preens Apparelmaster family, having given more than 30 years of service. Nicola is also a valued member of our Preens team.

His passing has come as a profound shock and has left a significant void in the lives of all who knew and loved him. Funds raised will go towards supporting his family with living costs as they navigate life on a single income.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
